There's gotta be a way when ragdolls are put in the artifical ragdoll state, 2 ragdolls aren't produced. 1 to see the active ragdoll, then the other that's supposedly supposed to be seen during the kill.

Invincible ragdolls on death are not very fun and holds this back.

This even happens with base Half life NPCs. It really needs to be the single npc all the way through
